Watch out when shopping for cellphone at wholesale, it might get very difficult and you may lose a lot cash very quick. We now have been shopping for cell telephones at wholesale lever for over Three years now, we all know this enterprise very effectively.

Let me begin off by explaining what occurred to our firm final week. We had one in every of our patrons contact us, he appeared very anxious to speak to somebody on the telephone. Effectively I gave him my cellphone quantity and he known as immediately. He had been a fantastic purchaser of ours for over one yr. He began off by asking what elements and telephones we at present had in inventory. I merely gave him breakdown of recent cell telephones and elements in inventory.

What occurred subsequent is a robust lesson when dealing in wholesale. He then requested “what telephones do you want” I gave him some issues, however he didn’t soar on all of them he merely mentioned “oh the Nextel i870 board?” I can get 100 of them for $XX.XX every. The worth was proper round what the price is for us from different suppliers (discover he didn’t go overboard right here). Then he merely mentioned, “let me name them to make sure they’ve them in inventory and I’ll name you again”

He didn’t name again that day, however the subsequent day he known as and mentioned sure, they’ve them, and I can have them in inventory tomorrow. I used to be anxious to get them as a result of this mannequin was offered out for a couple of weeks. I agreed to the value and despatched him the cash (wire-transfer)
